Verseweavers: The Oregon Poetry Association Anthology of Prize-winning Poems Number 21 2016

Verseweavers: The Oregon Poetry Association Anthology of Prize-winning Poems Number 21 2016 pulls together the winning poems from The Oregon Poetry Association's annual Spring and Fall poetry contests. It includes commentary by the judges that is sometimes enlightening and sometimes distracting. The poetry covers a wide range of talent, ideology, form, and points of view. As with other years, I related to some poems more than others, but I could appreciate the decision-making process of the judges involved. Verseweavers is published as a limited edition, but is worth the read if you can find a copy. In fact, the order form on the Oregon Poetry Association's website doesn't seem to currently include this issue.
